Haunting

It's hard to pick just one, but I'd go with "Have a Cigar"

A brilliant satirical comment on the music business with great music to boot.

Echoes

there's so many... but wish you were here just takes your mind places... more so

for me it's all about 'Time' or 'Eclipse'.

Interstellar Overdrive and like every song on Dark Side

I think I might have to recant my earlier claim and go with "Us and Them"

Money. Noo question. =)

I'm still going with Echoes... just 20 plus minutes of pure and complete total awesomeness.

Mother and Comfortably Numb.

In my opinion, probably one of the most terrible Pink Floyd songs ever, and a huge wrench in the gearbox of Dark side of the Moon.

Don't listen to a huge amount of Pink Floyd but I play this song often.

I would have to say either "Not Now John" or "Another Brick in the Wall". Although, I also quite like the song "Is There Anybody Out There"

"Another Brick..." is the standard to me, but I really love "Pigs"

I agree, although it's really hard to judge Animals on a song by song basis. As an album it really is one of the most coherent "whole" pieces of contemporary music.

Yes, it flows together so well..."Pigs" is the first track I heard off that album, so that's what got me into it, and it's got one of my favorite hooks of all time.

Dark Side of the Moon is the ONLY complete album that I've heard that I consider 5 stars, every song.

I dig a lot of albums but every other album has at least 1 weak link in it (usually more than 1). Dark Side, however, is a complete masterpiece. Amazing; I can't stand to listen to just one song in it, i want to hear it in entirety.


The one song, on this PF album in particular, that stands out is Money. I love the message about capitalism and money in general, I love the early use of samples, I love the overlapping rhythms in the intro, it's just a great track and works well by itself.

Of course, it doesn't hurt Money that it is immediately followed up by Us and Them... but that's a whole 'nother lengthy post!

Despite my love for many other tracks I do find this an almost perfect encapsulation of their post Syd Era:

anyone heard the madcap laughs? that's what happens when you have an acid breakdown, folks.

that being said, it actually is a great piece of music with some very interesting songs. the fact that syd changes chords, keys, and timings sometimes multiple times in a song and it still sounds like a coherent piece of music is truly astounding.

In my mind, I guess Time or Bicycle. If I thought harder I could come up with a better answer.
I kinda like Syd better solo.

Any Colour You Like, Money, Hey You, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, and Wish You Were Here are all stellar. However my choice is Comfortably Numb.

I've kinda been fancying Time as my favorite Pink Floyd song lately...

Top notch choice, mate.

I can't really chose...Echoes is brilliant, so is Shine On You Crazy Diamond...and many many others. I have a deep love for One Of My Turns too, but no one ever mentions this track =/
Incidentally, has anyone heard the work they did for Zabriskie Point?

Echoes from "Live At Pompeii" ... preferably the original cut, not the director's cut

I was disappointed with the directors cut myself and much prefer the original.

1. wish you were here - this one, i still remember the lyrics and is my most fave song of them
2. shine on you crazy diamond
3. another brick in the wall

:hphones:

Yeah, I guess I'm all for the director getting to realize his vision and so forth, but I also wish sometimes they'd quit tweaking with things, or at least keep all prior versions available if there's merit to them (who decides if there's merit, beats me)

interestingly...one of my favorite things pink floyd has done is pulse...that live dvd rocks the **** and it was well after roger waters left.

For me, it's the most popular song: Another brick in the wall! I think, it's very good arranged, a very rare song wich has integrated a children's choir and very funky, godd to play in a band and to make fun!

Does anybody have favorite Pink Floyd songs that arn't singles? Get Boo boo back in here, Pink Floyd is his favorite group.

Although perhaps not my favourites, I like quite a few of the later Pink Floyd songs as well. I already mentioned High Hopes from their last studio album Division Bell, but from A Momentary Lapse of Reason for example, you have songs like Learning to Fly, One Slip and On the Turning Away.

I'll mention them since almost noone else seem to acknowledge anything they did in the post-Barret-Waters period. ;)



Agreed! Pulse is great. :)

impossible to choose! a few faves from across the whole discography:

Astronomy Domine
Set the Controls
Echoes
Burning Bridges
Welcome to the Machine
Dogs
Your Possible Pasts
Sorrow
Coming Back To Live
High Hopes

I'm in heaven, especially from 3:09. :bowdown:

Shine on you crazy diamond

Have a Cigar or Welcome to the Machine. Also Shine On You Crazy Diamond (all parts).

Most definitely. You just have to scan back through the thread.

They have a lot of great songs, my personal favorites are "Brain Damage" and "Money", both of which you can find on their Dark Side of the Moon album.

High Hopes
